Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.
The language people and organisations use is not a matter for the UK Government or Parliament.
If the Government had a policy in respect of GRTSB we could accept a petition calling for this to be changed to exclude Showmen, but this does not appear to be the case.
